The Mascuaine Girl.

From the Boston Saturday Lvenins Gazette
The sad thing about it is that the girl is making
an ass OF herself, to use one OF her own express
slons, ana In just this way: Everything carried
to its extreme becomes It's contrary" says Hegel,
and the girl beginning with the masculine cos
tune, goes on to please men more and more by
adopting their slang nnd even their freedom or
manner. The girl does not see that, although men
are amused by II, they are not made more respect
iul and courteous thereby. she only sees that she

Fashions change as much In visiting cards as

''Tlc style OF cards for men is very small, two
sizes being used according to the length OF the

single ladies and is 81 inches long by 2 wide.
Then comes the size ior married wOmens cards.

The Worlds Largest Cities.
IA Dali Ga

The following Information is often inquired for,
and, as 1t may be useful In many cases for refer
ence, we have compiled table OF the largest cities
OF the world, with their populations as stated by
the latest authorities. In the absence of any off,
cial census the Chinese cities have simply to be
estimated, and, OF course, must be accepted as an
approximation only. We have not given any city
whose population is below 500 OGO though there
are many we could enumerate which closely APP
proach that figure. II will be seen that Ia the
Lhirty-tve cities tabuluted below there are
81, 5l03l9 souls, or nearly the population OF the
British Isles, fact which cannot be grasDed in q
